8 East 95th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

8 East 95th Street is a two-family house located in East Flatbush, built in 1920 and currently owned by Sam Junik. The two-story building has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues over the past year and a half, with particular concern regarding an apparent pattern of system failures during the winter months.

Between December 2022 and January 2023, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water problems, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. The most recent cluster of incidents occurred in late January 2023, with three separate complaints filed between January 28-30, including one for the entire building that resulted in a Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspection attempt.

While some complaints were resolved, particularly one on December 8, 2022, where a tenant reported restoration of services, the pattern of complaints raises questions about the consistency of building-wide heating systems. Of particular note is a January 28, 2023 complaint where HPD was unable to gain access to units for inspection purposes, though this incident ultimately was closed with emergency status. The building appears to have successfully addressed these heating issues since early 2023, as there have been no further documented complaints through October 2023, though this does not necessarily guarantee permanent resolution of the heating system concerns.
